I wonder how much money the kid developer is making off this game.
I’ve worked at a professional studio (+100 employees) that specializes in Roblox.
It’s very strange how that side of the industry works. Some people can make a killing just on the marketplace side, like providing assets for others (e.g. someone told me they made $200k/yr independently creating assets).
However, the vast majority of games & creators make nothing, or they make Roblox but now enough to withdraw funds into real money (something like 95% of creators fall into this category). It’s also hard to design for Roblox, because it’s like TikTok for games. What works there is somewhat unique to Roblox itself.
It could have changed since I worked in that field, but it’s a very topsy-turvy side of the industry.
I assume that's $200k a year and not straight $200?
Yes, edited now. Thank you.
